heburying-groundofPlyncu.his, of ccurte, a F kee of great inter- 

o thecitizens of the town : and visiles f.cm other places feel a sad 

sure in wandering among the tombs of past generatiens. A few ei

long the earlier numbers (No. 5 3,etc.) mention is made of six 
rravestones bearing dates in the i ,th century. As I proceeded in my 
Lrk I found two others plainly i, scribed cf tl e century mentioned, aid 
3 „e next to No. 435 having the face scaled off, so tl at , o nscripucn is

erected at the grave of Nathaniel, son of Nathaniel and Mary Thomas; 
us death is said to have occurred in r6 97 -there are then but eight or 
pine bearing date of sixteen hundred and odd years. lhese are

Edward Gray, 1681, 
William Crowe, 1683-4,

Ten children of John and Josiah Cotton 1699, and the defaced ternb- 
stone of Nathaniel Thomas (1697?) 



It is well known that the earliest burying- ground of the Pilgrim Fathers 
was on Cole's Hill. To conceal from the Indians all knowledge of the 
number of deaths among the new settlers, pains were taken to hide all 
traces of sepulture. Excavations on the hill sometimes reveal long-hidden 
tombs ; and on one of these — near the steps which lead to The Rock — has 
been placed a polished granite slab, on which is engraved in capitals the 
following inscription : 

On this hill the Pilgrims whodiedlhe first winter were buried. This 
tablet marks the spot where lies the body of one found October 8, 1883. 
The body of another found on the 27th of the following monthlies 8 feet 
northwest of the westerly corner of this stone. 

Erected 18S4. 

The "unlettered muse" spoken of by Gray has, in many instances, 
supervised the spelling and punctuation on the tombstones of Burial Hill. 
The various styles of contracted words and the differences in, Bering 
could not b* exactly imitated in ordinary type, — but the author of this 
work has made as close an approximation to the engraved inscriptions as 
ordinary type would permit. If other than copied errors are found, I 
believe they wi 11 be trifling, and within negligible limits.

stone of '-purple Welsh slate" is as fresh in 
appearance as if it had just left the hand of the 
engraver. The new monument is more showy, 
but whether it will be "more enduring" than 
the humbler Welsh slate is a question of time,— 
a questionwhich the descendants of Elder Cush- 
JBO. an, some thousand or more years hence, may 
be able to solve. The inscription on the purple 
Welsh slate is as follows,— all in capital letters:] 

Here lyeth buried ye body of that 
precious servant of God Mr. Thomas 
Cushman, who after he had served his 
generation according to the will of 
God, and particularly the church of 
Plymouth for many years in the office 
of a ruieing elder fell asleep in Jesus 
Decemr. ye 10, 169 1 & in ye 84. year

He died, lamented by the forefathers 
as "their ancient friend, — who was

the adventurers, and for divers years 
had done and agitated all their business 
with them to their great advantage." 

••And you, my loving friends, the adventurers 
to this plantation, as your care has been lirst 
to settle religion here* before either profit 

or popularity, so, I pray you, go on. 

I rejoice that you shall be repaid 

with your riches, and I trnst you shall be repaid 
again double and treble in this world, yea, 
and the memory of this action shall never die."

[The Magee monument. The enaction of this 
obelisk is in the highest degree creditable to the 
public spirit of Stephen Gale, Esq. It is to be 
regretted, however, that he was not fortunate 
in the selection of marble as the material for a 
tructure intended to be a permanent memorial 
of the disastrous shipwreck of the brig Gen. 
Arnold. The condition of No. 321, and of 
other marbles which have been erected in later 
vears, is convincing evidence that marble (I 
speak of such as is generally found in Plymouth 
cemeteries) is wholly useless for monumental 
purposes. On the south and west sides of the 
Magee monument, clefts are apparent in the 
squared block, the principal one striking the 
name of Magee. 

The inscription on the northeasterly side is:] 

In memory of Seventy two Seamen 
who perished in Plymouth harbour on 
the 26, and 27, days of December 
1778, on board the private armed Brig, 
Gen. Arnold, of twenty guns, James

[ When a boy I much admired what was then 
a most beautiful white marbie monument, and 
whenever I crossed the hill, was accustomed to~~ 
go out of my way to see it. Instead of the 
Medusa-like head supplied with wings, or even 
a questionable "cheruMc" face, this presented 
drapery of curtains, arranged in gracefully 
curring folds. On my return to Plymouth two 
or three years ago, I sought for this stone un- 
successfully, and supposed it had been removed 
to Oak Grove. Some time after, I happened to 
be on Burial Hill at an hour in the morning 
when the sun's rays threw the incised letters 
into shadow, when, lo! the familiar name and 
brief inscription reappeared, though scarcely 
legible. The only words on the stone which can 
be read at any time are the two in the epitaph 
"may endure"— which have no possible refer- 
ence to white marble. A V-shaped portion is 
gone from the top at centre; the monument is 
gray, and wasting away, grain by grain. It is 
to be regretted that this same material, appar- 
ently from the same quarry, has been so exten- 
sively employed here. Eighty years is a longer 
period than white marble can be expected to 
endure; it is but seventy years since my boyish 
fancy was charmed with the beauty of 321, — 
now unread and unobserved.]

attained the ripe age of 81 years. Mr. Drew! 
w rote the following : 

By temperance taught, a few, advancing slow,» 
To distant fate by easy journeys go, 
Calmly they lie them down like evening sheep,— m 
On their own woolly fleeces softly sleep. 
—but objection arose to these lines on thejH 
ground that Mr. Holmes had, at some time in-3| 
his life, been a mutton-dealer! Accordingly 
Mr. Drew threw them aside, and penned the 
epitaph now on the monument No. 680.]

Thou hast gone to thy rest dear Husband 

Whilst I am left to mourn :

Where no farewell tear is shed.

from such new monuments as came under my 
observation. Among these is the following, 
copied from a metallic plate secured to a huge 
bo wider recently placed on the grave of Thomas 
Clark. On said plate this name is spelled 
•"Clarke," which forbids us to suppose that the 
spelling reform, of omitting silent letters, 
caused Mr. Clark's de [s cendants 10 leave out 
the letter S in two words of the inscription.]
